[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 174618, member: 3111"] Could have been a way of using small change. Chop a penny in half and you got a halfpenny or hapny: [url]http://www.coinsofourpast.com/coinpages/colonialcoinpage.html[/url] Pieces o eight: [url]http://www.olddominionforge.com[/url] Chopping board: [url]http://www.jefpat.org/JPPMArchaelogyKidsSite/webpages/artifacts_pg1.html[/url] It seems that coins with cuts once had a use, or it was just a cool party trick to show with some steel scissors. I've read from currency, to entertainment, to jewellery. Something that was clear in my search was that coins very easily cut under kitchen knife quite commonly. [/QUOTE]
